Fill flash using SB800
Posted: Fri Apr 29, 2005 8:20 pm
Hi all, I've just joined but have been a very interested onlooker for a little while.
I am doing a uni assignment where we are required to shoot a portrait in sunlight using a Metz flash (very specific!) for fill. Due to access limitations to the Metz's, I'm wanting to use my SB800, but need to satisfy the assignment requirements - essentially using manual settings and stopping the flash down until the exposure looks right. I have made a couple of attempts but can't seem to get it right on the manual mode. I only seem to have success when I stop it down in TTL mode or stop the exposure down, but i dont think this fulfils the brief.
If anybody could give some tips I'd be very grateful!
